Random Amazon Review We Like

5.0 out of 5 stars – The Sound and the Furry – January 4, 2014
Janie Dills on The Sound and the Furry:I really enjoyed this latest book in the Chet & Bernie series. Mr. Quinn always keeps me interested by allowing Chet the Jet to do the story telling. He & his human, Detective Bernie Little, have a real knack for sniffing out the bad guys. Even though I usually figure out the culprit/s before the story ends, it’s the guessing as to how they accomplish that task that keeps me reading. I find it’s very difficult to put down a Chet & Bernie mystery until I finish the book because the action comes pretty fast with enough twists & turns to hold my interest. I particularly liked Chet’s adventure filled meeting with Iko, one of the Louisiana swamps nastiest gators. Will try to patiently await for Chet’s & Bernie’s next exciting mystery to solve.

Good morning, everyone! Hey, someone who finally understand 2 leggers do not “own” four leggers. They share their lives with us
Have a sparkley Saturday!
P.S. First up on Chet’s Friends this a m are Macy and Belle…gonna be a good day.

Hello All–“Chet and his human”–is anyone else old enough to remember Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman?
Have a wonderful day. Conan made it through his first night here without anyone getting hurt, although Pretty and Edgar are being somewhat territorial. We’ll see what happens on our firt collective outing this a.m.

Diane: Is anyone not old enough? And congrats with the rescue so far. Things will work out. My wolf dog tried to eat walls and door while I sheltered 2 rescued siamese cats. She wanted to play, they didn’t. Found them homes, bought new drywall, trim and door

We agree, a great review. Good thing she didn’t say owner! Only suggestion from us is that she should not have divulged who Iko was. That was a bit of a spoiler if one had not read the book.

HOH, Are you sure your wolf dog didn’t want to take the kitties out to dinner?

Diane, Most of The Plunderers are “women of a certain age”. Barb can certainly remember shows from the late 50’s and early 60’s although she does not remember ever watching Mr. Peabody. Now Mr. Peepers on Our Miss Brooks she remembers.

Morning all.
Diane – good luck with the outing. Bet everyone will end up best of friends.
Sharon – doing my best to sparkle, but this dam cold is making it awfully hard. Although I do feel a bit Rudolphian with my brilliant red nose.

The picture wasn’t so hot…like Grizz and Wose right now. Cocoon, cuddle, bundle.
Oh, and Rudolph, keep taking care of yourself.
Sonja (wolf dog) thought she was the size of one of the POP and never tried to hurt other animals. The POP trained her well. Liked to play with kitties and bunnies

We spent many hours listening to the Everly Brothers.
Rose: No heat or hot water? Oh, no! I do hope the power comes back on very soon.
Life of Pi, our movie of the night, was excellent. We really enjoyed it. Ang Lee is truly a master at his craft. Have not read the book but, after seeing the movie, may order it from the library.
Diane: Someone here does indeed remember Peabody & Sherman and Bullwinkle and the gang.
Paws crossed the situation will continue to improve with Edgar, Miss Pretty and Conan. We have heard the practice of walking dogs together is a good way to encourage comradery. Let us know how it goes.
B&M: Sounds like Staff’s weather report of last night!
Tupper’s Mama (or should I say Rudolph?) Have you taken your Airborne today? Emergen-C also works very well. And, if all else fails…even if you are not a drinker…lemon & a shot of brandy in hot water will do the trick.

Barb was never a big cartoon watcher. But speaking of Mr. Peepers and Our Miss Brooks – When Barb first got her car it had Sirius radio prepaid for 6 months. She used to listen to some of the old radio shows, including Our Miss Brooks. The show was on radio in the late 40s and early 50s before it became a tv show. They were really entertaining to listen to.

*cough cough* I think I feel a cold coming on, must have brandy. Ok, no cold, I just wanted an excuse for the brandy at 10 am. Chilly good morning to you snowbirds and others. It will be 60 here today before the next Arctic Blast. I do believe that the door to the North Pole must be frozen open.

Macy’s Mom: I think many would agree with you about the North Pole door. lol
The temperatures here in the Pacific NW continue to be on the mild side as opposed to the wild weather some of youse are “enjoying”. This morning is foggy and overcast.

Weather is the news. Newfoundland is in the middle of -40 degree weather and a windstorm and their power is out! I am glad that Wose and Grizz have had their power restored and hope the stormy weather across the East disappears. The sun is coming up on clear blue skies and -36 temperatures here. Brrr.

Our power was restored a few hours ago. What did we see when the lights finally came on? Our lady! She has turned into a chipmunk! She is more swollen today than yesterday and in a lot of pain. To help our Lady feel better, Belle Starr insisted our Lady rub her belly for medicinal purposes only.

Pancho&Lefty: So…maybe I panicked. Never having any wisdom (teeth), I’ve been reading about wisdom teeth extraction. Not a fun subject. The swelling can get worse before it gets better and lasts 3-5 days. One person said she got a bra and tied it to her head with the ice bags in the cups around her jaw. That would make a good photo opportunity if nothing else. Another said to ice for the 1st 24 hours then apply heat (you could use the same bra method). They all agreed with Rio to take those Ibuprofen and other pain meds every four hours or as directed, whether you think you need them or not to stay ahead of the pain.

P&L: HOH is right. Call the DDS! That was a lot of wisdom removed in one fell swoop. And, although it is the weekend an emergency number is usually provided.
On the bright side your power has been restored. Things can only get better from here.
Staff: Thanks for the memories!

BStover: I had trouble spelling panicked! I first spelled it without the “k” and I could see that wasn’t right. With the “k” did look better. Is there a rule on adding a “k” to words that end in “c” before adding “ed”?

Good Day, everyone!
We love that review, mainly because the writer got the relationship between Chet the Jet and his boy Bernie. And we here love Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Mom never watched any cartoons except for Rocky and Friends, which she loved, and still loves. Also: sometimes she watched Super Chicken.
Speaking of chickens, the heat lamped worked out well. It still went down to 22, but that is because it was -7 outside! Barb, the heat lamp bulb is in the socket that the regular light bulb had beeen in, which is hanging from the ceiling.
Barb, Mom read your SDD, and said that is exactly how she was seeing things. Will exchange another SDD with that doc for better clarity.
And now, we will let Dima tell youse all about our morning…

Hey guys! I just got home from my special doc. The girls went along with me, for moral support.
I AM A SPECIMEN! Nothing bad at all in this bod, Amigo. Nada zippo zilch!!!! Kicked it to the curb!!!!! Of course, nobody wants to consider it case closed until a year goes by, but so far it looks like I beat what they had said was the unbeatable form of that dreadful thing. This entire family has been twirling ever since we left Hope. We don’t think we will ever stop twirling.

Siber, twins?
Thanks, everyone!
There was a Dog Walk scheduled at Monocacy Hill tomorrow. That is our go-to hiking place, and we never saw them host a dog event before. But now, it turns out that we are getting freezing rain tomorrow, so that walk is not gonna happen.

I am about to take a nap.
Change of plans this morning.
First thing: MAC IS OKAY!
Zoë got concerned about Mac because he hadn’t eaten his breakfast, yesterday or today.
He also seems sad and hurts. She was sure it was what Roz just went through.
Off to the vet we went.
Upshot is Mac is grieving, and this weather is not doing well with his arthritis. They don’t call it “bone chilling” for noreason.
We’ve changed his medication and walks, rides in the car, tummies and loving are to help with the grieving.
I am now,totally out of it. I remember laughing when I was reading your comments. Will be back later.

HOH–thanks for the example and encouragement; no home improvements needed yet, but the day’s not over.
Wose-Congratulations on having light and heat restored.
Dima (is that for Dmitri? Like Hvorostovsky?) Also congratulations–a great start to the year.
T’s Mama–Bed rest, fluids, and my sympathy.
Pancho and Lefty–Tell your lady that bags of frozen peas can substitute for the bra contraption (although probably less entertaing to look at).
Masquers–Here’s a free archive of old radio shows. I recommend “Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar” https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio

Diane C. We are certainly old enough in Chevy Chase to remember Sherman and Mr. Peabody and the rest of the Bullwinkle crew (like Whatsamatta U). B beat me to the punch to mention the new movie coming out early this year, although it seems as though Hollywood these days is lacking in new ideas and simply retreads old themes, generally without any improvement or redeeming social value. Of course, a Chet & Bernie movie would break that mold, but we are still waiting for that.

Melanie: Where have all the Newfies gone? I can understand Mac grieving just like you and Zoe are. Between dances with giraffes, give each other tummies and lots of loving.

Layers!
I have my wool tights, my regular pants (I have to check if they are cotton), and my wind/rain pants on. On top I have a t shirt (oh no, I bet it is cotton) a soft wool sweater, a thin hoodie and my winter jacket. A pair of gloves under a pair of mittens. A pair of wool socks and my Ugh! boots. We are going for a walk in the sunshine.

B. Stover–A movie w/ Peabody and Sherman! Yay! Thank you for the info!
Everyone–Henri Lazarof didn’t have as many commercial hits as the Everlys, but his loss (a day earlier, I think) just as big a loss to music. RIP both.

Mama just woke up from a nap and checked the blog – WOOOO HOOOOO for Dima! You go, Dawg!

Bella – its true – swelling is worse on the second day, and could stay swollen for days. Please, do keep taking pain meds to stay ahead of the pain. If you don’t have ice – you could stick your head in a snowbank. But do ice the swelling.

That’s it for us – Mama is going back under the quilt and we are holding her down. Fever goes up, fever comes down. Honk, sneeze, sniffle, yawn. Colds suck!

Dog grief is real. We of the herd have seen it. Mom and Uncle Dan play “ER” with us. That means massages, tummies, playing with favorite toys, rides in the car, an occasional extra cookie. Oh, and lots of ear rubbers

Diane C., why yes! Dima is indeed the Russian nickname for Dmitri. I am so impressed that you knew that. But I did not know about Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Does he go by “Dima”? My name is not Dmitri though. It is Dima, pure and simple.
Is the Peabody and Sherman movie really about THE Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman? If so, that movie will be on our must-see list for sure.

T&G, give your mom lottsa hugs from Meashka and me. Kat is already on her way up there to help with smooches. If she tries to get in your way, tell her Mama Meash will have words for her.

Staff: When I listened to the Everly Brothers link, I actually thought they were going to cover Harvest Moon. We are music detectives.

Grizz and I took a drive to the mall. Pipes had burst in the building, so the entrance was a bit water-logged, and the Cheesecake Factory had no heat or working restrooms.

Rebecca: Keep dancing with the giraffes. It is very important to finish your medication. You do not want to get an infection, or the dreaded, dry socket .
I hope Luna is giving you the look, and is keeping you under a firm paw.

Wose: Mama is trying to find the happy medium between staying ahead of the pain and not getting sick from the pills. She slept the morning away, but has been up for the last several hours. I am sending her to bed shortly for a nap. She says she is bored. I say bored or not, she needs to rest. Does she know I’m more stubborn that she is? She is about to find out.

I am told, both my mama’s wisdom teeth had cracked so the oral surgeon had to go on a SiberH-esque digging expedition. I think she would have preferred quality time with SiberH instead of the oral surgeon.

They reported on the news that the Everly Brother’s hit “Wake Up Little Susie” was banned from some radio stations around 1957-58.
It was considered too risqué for the times, since 2 teenagers were out together way past midnight. Guess times have changed!

We have a movie tonight from Netflix, The Way Way Back. Has anyone watched it? Light comedy, nothing serious.

B&M: The national weather forecast is for the coldest temp in 20 years…30 degrees below normal…bone-chilling cold.
Sammie: There are so many different strains of flu, for it to be effective, one would most likely need a shot for each one.

Wolfie Wigglebutt here. I decided it was time to introduce myself. Mom calls me Saint Wolfie sometimes, because she says that I am perfect in every way.

Me and Gus Puppy like with mom and dad in the center of California, not too far from Yosemite. Somehow our cat population grew from 3 to 13. Mom says that 13 cats are too many, but she loves each and everyone of them.

I am famous for being a Master of Blurring, which is the art of devolving molecules and reassembling them elsewhere. Okay, so I may be making some of this up because I am only a dog. What I do know is that it comes in very handy more often than not.

Mom and dad have two grown children who are very responsible and live in the big city making lots of money. And then there are my boys, who will turn 21 on Wednesday. They have provided joy and heartbreak and while life has been trying at times, it has never once been boring.

Sometime in the next week or two (the second week of January) they will be appearing on the Tricia Goddard Show. It is step up from Jerry Springer, I suppose, but not a big step. Apparently Cody wanted to be certain that he, and not Chad, is the father of Jace. As it turned out, they are identical twins and therefore their DNA is identical. Breena and Chad both passed the lie detector tests, so Cody feels vindicated. Honestly, he has no idea just how wildly inappropriate it was to air these concerns on national TV. All that for a lousy $300.

Of a more pressing concern is Jace’s eye. The mengioma is still covering 10% of the pupil and we’ll find out on the 22nd if surgery will be required. Mom gave up trying to pull Breena into the loop of making appointments and has taken over. Jace sees a pediatric opthamologist on the 15th, to make sure his vision has not been compromised.

B&M: The national weather forecast is for the coldest temp in 20 years…30 degrees below normal…bone-chilling cold.
Is The Way Back from 2010 with Ed Harris and Colin Farrell? Netflix has listed it in our recommended movies.
Sammie: There are so many different strains of flu, for it to be effective, it seem one would need a shot for each one.

Oh dear, Wolfie, So sorry about baby Jace. Your mom is the one who’s a saint we think, for all she puts up with and all she does. Sending love and prayers to the wee one.
Hopefully that show the boys are on will be on one of the stations our cable company offers.

Masquers, The Way Way Back stars Steve Carell, and is a comedy-drams about a boy’s growing up 1 summer with his mom and insensitive step-dad.

Wolfie, do your folks really have two other functional children, or was that just humor? We will try to catch the show when it is on, but you will have to let us know, as we do not watch Trica on a regular basis. Hoping for the best for Jace’s eye situation. Looks like Breena is still not acting like a responsible parent, but at least she is letting your mom help.

Rose: We were somewhat relieved to hear Mama Luna say two wisdom teeth had been extracted, not four. Extracted…sounds scary, doesn’t it?
And, here the Giant is out on an eighty mile training run. Luna has her paws full. Has nurse Meashka arrived?

Wose, thank you for the swine flu link. Stuff we didn’t know.
while mom taught she didn’t get sick but being away from kiddos and now with the compromised immune system, it can’t hurt to know.
she had her first ever flu shot this year Hospital wouldn’t let her come home without one.

Masquers, when it comes to wisdom teeth I can only count to two. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to have all four out at once!! I have had all 4 out (hence my lack of wisdom), but two each were taken out at different times. And of course, with my bottom teeth, I got the dreaded dry-socket. Ouch!

Wose, my girl had a scope go down into her villi and they didn’t look good. Mommy immediately started her on gluten free meals. The diagnosis came back a week later and it was the same as Molly’s mom, gluten insensitivity. We are very happy it was not celiac. The treatment is the same but celiac has a much bigger impact on the body. My girl is starting to feel better already. She will go back to that stupid school place in a couple of weeks and mommy is getting everything ready for her to be able to have the right food.

Sammie, I am glad to hear your girl’s diagnosis was not something serious, and that she is starting to feel tip-top. Don’t you get a chance to visit your girl at school? I think your girl would love to have you at college with you.

Yikes, I can’t imagine having to take care of myself after wisdom tooth extraction. I had all 4 out, and was in the hospital for a day and a half. Of course that was in the good old days when insurance did not kick you out as soon as the anesthesia wears off.

I know that there is a lot of dislike of James Patterson here, but I just read the latest Alex Cross story in one sitting. Riveting!

Mom had 3 wisdom and 4 first bicuspids our at r the same time to make room in her mouth. What for we are not sure. But…she was miserable and hurt for a while
AND all got dry sockets. She was in a world of ouch. Rebecca, Ice, jello, pain meds and sleep…please.

Hi all, it’s late afternoon here so you’re all well asleep i’m sure, but Ruby and I wanted to check that you’re all okay. Those snowstorms are all over the news here and the forecast sounds terrible! Stay safe everyone.

Hi Liz, we have been worried about you too, with the record temps down under. We heard 129, but we didn’t hear what part of Australia that was. The worst snows here have been in the midwest and northeast we think. We here got snow, but nothing drastic. We are all having very cold temps too. Can you say Climate Change?

wolfie wigglebutt_-It’s a pleasure to meet you, and Jace is now added to the prayer list. Can’t hurt.
Dima Pure and Simple–Your name makes more sense (phonetically for English speakers/readers). Hvorostovsky is a Russian singer who is almost as good as his publicity says he is.

HOH–right side up and they’re most appealing.
O’H–what a handsome team! I thought thery ran harnessed in apirs, but these look like 2-1-2 (or am I just losing vision to go with the disappearing brain cells…)
Natasha–I was sure it wasn’t you. Not in that Barbara stanwyck wig (no matter the color).

During your workout, be sure you take plenty of time to hydrate yourself. If you do not drink enough water during your workout, your performance will suffer. It is also a good idea to consider drinking a sports drink instead of just water since sports drinks are filled with electrolytes which replenish the minerals your body loses when it sweats.
